I was thinking of going the 30th but I am not sure. It seems like it would be really busy Halloween weekend. I'm gonna check the previous trip reports.
I've had the 31st O-Ked by my parents and my normal buddy that usually joins me at the park. If it's ANYTHING like last year's final day it will probably be one of the best of the year.
I'm really hoping that trick or treating in most communities will keep people out of the park. (I believe it's already keeping out Tom. )

Halloween is the only weekend day that my haunted house isn't running, so I will be trying to make it up there in one day (8-9hrs round trip) to enjoy your fright fest for the first time. I will post closer to that date when I know more.
It's the most fun in the park when your laughing in the dark.
I was supposed to go this past weekend, but due to scheduling conflicts, my friends and I are now going on Halloween weekend. Most likely the 30th & 31st.
I am trying to convince my dad to let me go. I was going to go on the 29th, but i have to go see my grandparents in indiana. Will it be busy on the 31st? Also, what is special on that day?
It will be packed all weekend just like the rest of Fright Fest. The nice empty closing weekend we've had the past couple of years isn't going to happen. The only reason it was empty the last two years was because it was in November and GP didn't know they were open.
I will be there Sunday with luck. I plan on leaving home around 4:30am, passing through Springfield around 5 or so, then taking 55 all the way up to the tollway. Probably won't make it home till 1 in the morning as I plan on staying all day, but I have been saying that I would make SFGAM FF for three years and this time I mean it!
If there is anyone along this route that may want a ride up, PM me before 4pm Friday. As of now I have 3 spots in my car. I only ask that you be 18 or older, and on time if we arrange a pickup time. Willingness to help on gas / parking a plus.
If anyone is interested in meeting up post or pm me. I wouldn't mind meeting up with someone who knows a great deal about the park.
Till all hallows eve.
